From Pueblo Indian trails to Elk Camino Real to the Santa Fe Trail, Santa Fe has been a sought after destination for centuries. Global Running Culture, a non-profit organization, along with the Pueblo of Pojoaque and the Buffalo Thunder Resort & Casino are proud to present the premier running of the Santa Fe to Buffalo Thunder Half Marathon, a destination event.

We invite you to run with us from the heart of historic Santa Fe to the magnificent Buffalo Thunder Casino down the Old Taos Highway. The 1,000 foot net downhill USATF-certified course provides spectacular views of the Sangre de Cristo and Jemez Mountains while dropping into the colorful Rio Grande Valley. You will run past the Santa Fe Opera, Camel Rock and through the Tesuque Pueblo on your way to Pojoaque along a route that our ancestors have run and walked for centuries.

For those desiring a shorter challenge, a 5K (3.1 mile) road run and 1K (1.6k) fitness walk will be held at the Buffalo Thunder Resort & Casino.

The mission of Global Running Culture is to promote fitness, nutrition and health among native and local youth. Proceeds from the event will benefit organizations sharing our mission. We invite you to participate in our celebration of wellness and spirituality in this beautiful setting.
